I was wondering if someone can share an opinion whether I can use a genuine Samsung or Apple charger to power my iFi ZEN DAC V2 (I have a few genuine ones: Samsung EP-TA300, Samsung EP-TA200, Apple A1357 10W) coupled with a LINDY 70268 USB to 2.1mm Inner - 5.5mm Outer DC Cable (which again I already have) and a TDK ferrite core. No idea if it will make any difference or even harm my DAC, rather than spending close to £100 for an iFi iPower2 charger low noise DC power supply 5V/2.5A?
I must admit I don't know much about audio band noise floor plus I could not found such info on normal chargers, just for the iFi one which might as well be a marketing thing.
I am using the DAC with a pair of Meze 99 Classic and Meze balanced cable if it matters being mentioned.
I have also replaced the USB cable (too short) with longer thicker Belkin USB A/B 3.0 one.
